Next day - Joe and Laurie visit the Snowy Range Park.

yes

@Sue Thomas The days of crouching and crawling around on the ground is coming to a close for this year. It does pay off though, along with a lot of patience, it can be very rewarding. Everything is my own work. Pin, paperclips, sequin, polaroid images. Carole's corner punch, and lifted corner script. The background paper is from from another photo I took on the same day, lightened. Love your layouts.

Autumn is here. The picture was taken by my granddaughter Victoria in Harper Valley, WV. I'm still having fun. Not sure what I will do for Winter.

And here is my Spring use of the pspimage I created.

Actually, that was the case. I had to go back to look where I took that from and that was the case. I was standing at the bottom of a slope and the hedge was at the top of the slope and the flowers were just under it. I know that your winter scene will be beautiful. Love your pictures of the Hudson Valley. The colors are so vivid. It is beautiful country. In fact the whole of New York state is beautiful. I only saw the upper region of it, but I loved the views.

OK. I worked with that multi layer described in February 2023 Q&A. this is what I came up with. I know it is fall, but this is summer.

Since I'm sticking with 2022 Ultimate, I'll just pass - the neon idea is what got me to download them (I've since deleted the download). Will work with your neon instructions.

I'm giving up on them. Carole has a good tutorial on making neon things. I'll use that.

I did too. CF Spark is ok and I have used it several times with good results. Also have been able to download fonts and graphics which are not the freebies.

I loved The Wizard of Oz! Since I've been "shrinking" as I've gotten older, I keep telling the kids not to throw water on me as I will then disappear!!! LOL

@Chris Schults Thanks for the uptick. It looked intriging but I can't afford the piggy property as my PC is getting full and can't afford a new one just yet.

Master Class - Paint Shop Christmas 5 - Carole has us drawing gnomes for any of our projects.

Still working on it. I guess this is about midway in the total trip. We are now in Wyoming and will be there for a couple of days. The campground is 7000 feet, and with my COPD, it is pretty tough breathing at first. Second day I felt better and went with Joe and Laurie to some of the places they went to on this day. The flag and seal for Wyoming is from the web and the curvy road sign is from Pixel Scrapper (also the 2 rv's on the concrete road).

Pages 19 and 20. The map of the loop road and the 2 lower right pictures on page 20 are from the website for Custer State Park. The rest of the pictures were taken by Laurie and Joe.

Can I just send you the file? I'm not sure what site I was on when I decided to download the zip file. I can send the zip file - where can I do this?

I downloaded the neon brushes from photoshop and I cannot open the abr file to import the brushes. Help.

@Phil Kettmann I have used Corel software (Paintshop and Video Studio) for close to 20 years and I'm still learning new things about how it works. Maybe one day I might open the instructions. Me, too, Phil. Cassel's the greatest teacher. She explains things so well. Even if I can't boil water, she teaches me how to.

And so pages 17 and 18. Used some of the instructions in the Text Workshop this year. The little flare button on the 18th page is from Pixel Scrapper.

And now for pages 15 and 16 - the Badlands. Had to edit it to put the date stamp sticker on it.

I'm reposting pages 13 and 14 (posted in What are you working on in September 2023). Carole suggested I post it here.

OOPS! Sue - you didn't catch my spelling error. But I did. It's Dances With Wolves not Dances With Wolfes.

Pages 13 and 14. We have arrived in Belle Fourche, SD and visited Aunt Mary Lou. It is Friday. Tomorrow we will go to the Badlands. Sunday is the picnic in the city park with as many of the extended Solaas family who can come. Made 2 flare buttons for this layout. Also, did a postcard and stamp as that is part of the workshop. Always fun to do.

This is the 2nd one - finished off in PSP.

Yes, thanks for mentioning Particle Shop. I, too, began playing with it. Choose the color blue, and used one of the brushes and this page is what I came up with. The second one is the same page but smudged, blurred, etc.
